Chapter 441, Intending to Massacre the City as a Sacrifice
"Do you need the ashes of the gods to rebuild your body?"
The princess just asked one more question, and was blown away by a murderous aura. Fortunately, Ashu caught her very quickly.
But the princess was frightened by this. Her face was pale and her chest was aching from the shock of that force.
The demon in front of her didn't even give her a glance.
It was just a strand of spirit, but it was so powerful without making any sound. The princess didn't dare to think about how powerful Ji Yan would be once he was resurrected.
She smelled a strong sense of crisis from this demon, and began to feel uneasy.
On the other hand, King Nanmei had been dazzled by the beautiful dream of unifying the world and living as long as the sky, and was fawning on Ji Yan.
"Eldest sister, we will give it to the Demon Lord, don't ask so many questions." Nanmei Wang said to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess pursed her lips and said nothing, but her fingers tightly grasped Ashu's arm. しΙиgㄚuΤXΤ.ΠěT
Ashu could feel the eldest princess trembling faintly.
Jiye slowly raised his eyes and glanced at them, and said in a deep voice, "There are many ways to revive, but I want to use his ashes."
Using the ashes of the old man from Xuanmen as his skeleton for resurrection can not only build his new body that is invulnerable to swords and guns.
It can also make the old man from Xuanmen hate him.
At that time, the old man was willing to die together with him to seal him.
If the old man's soul knew that he was now using his ashes to make a body to revive, I don't know how angry he would be.
Jiye thought about it and sneered.
His slender fingertips tapped on the golden jade glazed cup, and suddenly he thought of something more interesting.
Isn't the old man's soul in the temple enjoying the incense?
Then he would go directly to Daxia and use the old man's ashes to revive in front of the old man.
Thinking of him watching himself resurrected angrily and helplessly, Jiye felt that it must be very interesting.
Soon, a palace servant came up and lifted the golden jade glazed cup.
"I can't tolerate ugly things in my eyes. You'd better send someone to keep a close eye on it. If the skeleton is even a little ugly, I will hold you accountable."
The light voice was full of threats and echoed in the ears of King Nanmei.
Nanmei Wang smiled and said yes. After Ji Ye turned into a ball of black mist and floated away, his face changed and he quickly called his father-in-law beside him.
"You go and keep a close eye on it. Don't let the craftsmen make mistakes. Make sure it looks good."
His father-in-law's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly bent over to supervise the work.
The eldest princess began to advise, "Your Majesty, this demon god is moody. You really have to cooperate with him. Don't be afraid that he will go back on his word and... "
"Don't be afraid, elder sister. The demon god shocked the heavens a thousand years ago because he killed the King of Nanyue. Now that he is resurrected, he dare not touch me. Besides, I am willing to give him what he wants!"
Nanmei Wang patted the eldest princess's hand, signaling her to rest assured.
The eldest princess frowned, "Besides the ashes in the golden jade glass cup, what else did you promise him?"
At this point, King Nanmei became complacent, "Eldest sister, do you know that the demon god did not look for us at first, but Donglin."
"I heard a little bit, it is said that the cooperation negotiation failed, so he came to us Nanmei." The eldest princess said.
"Do you know why it failed?" King Nanmei smiled.
"Why?"
"Because the demon god wants the resentment of a city to help him improve his cultivation, and the Lord of Donglin is unwilling to massacre the city! So, the demon god came to us."
The answer of King Nanmei made the princess tremble in her heart. She moved her lips and asked in disbelief, "What did you promise him? You won't massacre the city as a sacrifice..."
"Don't be excited, sister. As long as the people of a city are exchanged, our Tuoba family can unify the world for thousands of years. Sister, don't you hate Daxia? As long as this thing succeeds, we will attack Daxia first. By then, Daxia will also be the country of our Tuoba family!"
"We won't lose if we exchange the people of a city for these!"
When King Nanmei thought of Donglin and Daxia, he was excited and couldn't help himself.
This deal is not a loss no matter how you do it.
"As a king, how can you trade the lives of the people!" The eldest princess' eyes were slightly red, and she was shaking with anger.
Those were the lives of the people.
As a superior, losing the hearts of the people means that the country is doomed.
He has been a king for twenty years, doesn't he understand these things?
"Eldest sister, I am not here to discuss with you. You have been interfering with me for twenty years. I am a king and I don't need to discuss with you when making decisions. I was originally going to send you to do this. It seems that you don't want to help me!" Seeing
her so irritated, King Nanmei suppressed the anger in his heart.
From childhood to adulthood, no matter what he asked for, didn't the eldest sister eagerly help him deal with it?
But the eldest sister's ability is too outstanding, and there are many important officials in the court who are loyal to her.
This sister has always been his biggest thorn in the flesh.
It was as if he had to obey her control in everything he did.
He wanted to get rid of this control and the annoyance of women interfering in the court, so he set up a trap 20 years ago and had his elder sister assassinated on her way to Daxia.
He thought she was dead, but she was picked up by a villager and hidden for two years. She suffered some humiliation, but she still came back intact.
This time, in order to get Qingli City, he used the same trick again, showing weakness and embarrassment, and asked his elder sister to go to Daxia again.
Assassins and death squads were ambushed in Daxia to assassinate her.
But she came back unscathed again.
Well, it's better to come back as a scapegoat.
He wants to massacre the city, and he must not draw the anger of the people to himself.
His elder sister is the best candidate.
Kill two birds with one stone.
"Asshole! How can I help you do such a heinous thing, Tuoba Hong, have you forgotten your ancestors' teachings? Do you remember what the emperor said? He said..."
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The people are the water and the king is the boat..." Tuoba Hong answered her words lightly, with a nonchalant look on his face, and continued, "I'm tired of hearing it."
Every time he made a decision that was not to his elder sister's liking, his elder sister would scold him with this sentence.
Last time, he fell in love with a woman among the people, but the woman already had a husband. In order to force the woman into the palace as a concubine, he ordered people to beat and kill her husband.
This matter was widely spread among the people, causing dissatisfaction among many people.
The elder sister scolded him in the same way.
However, after the scolding, for the sake of the overall situation, didn't she have to step in to help him settle it and bear the anger and insults of the people?
Thinking of this, Tuoba Hong was even more dissatisfied.
How come you always help him, but you are not willing to do so this time?
"Eldest sister, remember you promised father that you would assist me wholeheartedly? Elder sister, I am the king, you can only obey me. This time, you have to go. If you are not willing, I will do it myself. I will not be soft-hearted with the old, weak, women and children."
"Especially, the city I chose is Qiucheng."
When the eldest princess heard about Qiucheng, she shuddered violently, stared at Tuoba Hong with wide eyes in disbelief.
